Anna Marie Opgenorth, Executive Director of Historic Milwaukee, says she wants to open up the conversation to a diverse group of speakers.

“What we want to do is bring 12-14 really interesting Milwaukeeans on stage - people who normally wouldn’t talk with one another in a public setting to discuss what they want to see what good things are happening in Milwaukee now what do we need to cultivateand where do we need to collectively put our resources.”

Opgenorth says Historic Milwaukee will be hosting another public discussion like this in September. Until then - she says people can continue the conversation on Historic Milwaukee’s Facebook page.
